Body language expert Judi James told Express.co.uk the mother of two “gave more clues of a relationship than she did deny them”.

Judi explained: “Piers threw the 'killer' question about Andrew right before the end and it was like lobbing a large firework in Sarah's direction.

“Instead of smiling confidently and calmly to deny the rumours of the pair getting back together again she threw her hands into the air in front of her face and body and flapped and waggled them around wildly.”

After Piers grilled Fergie on their relationship, she did manage to quip her response in before the interview was swiftly ended, joking: “Oh you’re such a romantic!”

But Piers was adamant to get an answer as he continued to repeat the question.

Eventually the Duchess announced: “Oh Piers, get a life!” leaving the hosts laughing. She went on to add Prince Andrew “is different, and I’m different.”

Judi said Fergie's remark only gave more clues about their romance: “Verbally she told Piers to 'get a life' but her hand-flapping was such a peculiar and over-congruent denial gesture that she actually gave more clues of a relationship than she did deny them.

“In the end she tried to dismiss Piers by flapping both hands towards him as though shooing him away but the phrase 'The lady doth protest too much' could well have applied, especially as we then saw her grabbing for the water as the interview closed down.”

It is reported that the couple’s marriage problems started in 1991, just one year after the birth of their second daughter, Princess Eugenie.

Prince Andrew was successful in the navy, but this meant that the royal and his wife would have months without seeing each other.

According to reports this amounted to 40 days a year in the first five years of their marriage.
